hey silv3rspark,

I was reading about guys using the Huawei Ascend XT2. It has been nicknamed the "WONDERPHONE" or something like that. It was a burner phone from Walmart. Walmart blew them out for $49.00. I wish I would have know about them as I would have got several just to have spares. Anyway I did some research and the specs are very good.

Here is a link to the specs; https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/a2bd4690

I found one on craigslist for $60.00 NIB so I decided to pick it up. Am I glad I did! I charged it up, downloaded the latest DJI GO 4 app and using OTG I flew my MP for several flights. I am so impressed with the phone I am going to get another one for my spark. I only fly with the an OTH cable so in order to use OTG with the spark I will need to load an earlier version of Go 4 but that's no big deal.

If you want a good (GREAT) BRIGHT display for droning you cannot beat this phone.

I also have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X that does work well I have been using with my spark. However I am looking to replace it with the Huawei Ascend XT2 as it's screen is a bit brighter. It really pops.

Hi Bill,

this helps alot! because currently im using iPhone 7 and it works perfectly, but i have second phone redmi 4A which i thought can be used just for my spark but the phone does hung and easily lost connections.

just compare the specs of A1 and yours Note 4X and it is pretty much the same (cpu,gpu,ram). adding this phone into my phone list that can be solely for my spark.

cheers mate

Hi Mark,

thanks for the reply - yes this is the list i've gone through and saw Xiaomi Mi 5, and hoping that Xiaomi Mi A1 should now be a good compatible phone as well since its has higher specs. cheers

It may work. You always need to make sure the operating system is it to the current version.

I can not connect my Xiaomi Mi A1 with the controller via Wi-Fi at the same time when controller has a Wi-Fi connection with Drone (Dji Spark). I am going to try with OTG adapters and so on...but, can you help me maybe I have to update anything in my all devices? Thank you, for your answers!

Hi i'm interested to buy a xiaomi for my spark, can I ask what connection you use to connect phone to Spark RC? maybe OTG? becouse I read in more post that with the xiaomi there is issue to connect via wi-fi with the spark RC, and I don't understand this issue, due to insert the xiaomi 5 in the compatible device in the official APP/LIVE VIEW compatible device on the official DJI website. hmmm...

Please make sure you are connecting to the RC wifi, Usually the wifi name will contain "RC" letters. Make sure you update the latest firmware for A1. I have no matter at all connecting with both wifi and OTG.
If you have matter then you might have a faulty A1
